trash and burn
i've got a loaf of beer bread in the oven....yum-o. i'm bringing it for a snack tomorrow for the knitting cable class. i think the students will need bit of a snack right about the time they are just getting a hang of doing those cables and i say to them, "now let me show you how to do this cool trick of cabling without a cable needle".
i just trashed the paper shredder. i love that thing. i always put way to much stuff in there. way to thick of paper. i put everything in there, not just stuff with important info on it...everything. i think it cuts down on landfills or whatever. my husband is always saying to me, (it's in his office) "you don't really need to put that in there, that could just go in the recycling". but i like to put it in the chopper!! gone forever, tiny, small, little bits. i REALLY love it when i have an old ID card or credit card that i get to stick in there!!! chop-chop!!
well today i was doing some cleaning and it was past the date for some old bank statements!!!! i sat myself down, got comfy and yep, i think i got "thickness happy". it started feeling a bit warm. i flipped it over (don't worry, i un-plugged it, don't want to lose those knitting fingers) and now it's all clogged up and won't do a thing.
i going to get an "i told you so" when HE gets home. oh well, it was fun while it lasted. if i didn't need to bake this beer bread i'd run to office depot quick and just get another one. i'm sure we've already gotten our $ worth out of this one the way i chop stuff up. and BTW did you see on Martha Stewart her great idea for using color paper with a paper shredder? her ideas for beautiful packing paper. OH NO, HE'S COMING IN THE DRIVEWAY... I'M NOT KIDDING!!! WHERE'S THE VACUMN i haven't cleaned up all the shreds everywhere from trying to fix that thing, i'm going to end up burning this beer bread!!!!!!
